The receptionist was friendly, and both shuttle drivers were really nice. We arrived in Rio at midnight, so staying there was great, easy to get the free shuttle to the hotel, and the breakfast was really good.
Hôtel location is excellent- close to the beach and close to all the stores and restaurants. Staff is helpful in finding tours, etc. The rooms are a bit run down but clean. No microwave, coffee machine or tea pot in the room or in easy access at the hotel. For us the biggest issue was no access to filtered water - had to either buy or ask the staff to fill our water bottles in the basement staff kitchen.

There was decent food available although we arrived near midnight.
Ok for a quick stopover. Clean, good A/C, wife thought the bed was great, me…it was OK. Staff was not welcoming or cordial. They acted like they were doing us a favor…pretty gruff.
Be advised, this hotel is built into the nearly abandoned Terminal 1. Even the taxi drivers did not know where it was.
Again…for one night when our flight was cancelled, it worked.
Hotel is in a disused terminal and is extremely tired but served a purpose. If your from the UK think Easy Hotel or a poor travel lodge. However service was good and eas impecably clean

The staff was very nice and accommodating. I was able to use the room from 10am - 8pm which was fine for me with my midnight departure. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend the hotel for a longer stay. The room was very basic, but clean. And be aware that the hotel location is in Terminal 1 at Rio (GIG). T1 is closed, all flights go in and out of Terminal 2. There is a free shuttle between, but you have to call the hotel and ask for it.
Staff at check in (9/9/25) were amazing, the girl at the desk was lovely and spoke amazing English. Also, we had a great waiter in the restaurant, younger guy who also spoke amazing English, same evening we checked in - he was wonderful and helpful. The hotel is not fancy, very basic, but it was very clean and very quiet which we greatly appreciated.

It does what it says - super close to the airport (it is in the now mothballed terminal 1), so convenient place to rest your head for an early flight.
Rooms are basic and have no windows, but clean.
Shuttle is efficient or you can walk for 10 minutes
Nicest people from airport to hotel and restaurant. Would highly recommend.

I selected this hotel because it was within the airport and I wouldn’t need to venture out into Rio at night. Mission accomplished! The hotel is clean and safe. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. There is a restaurant/bar that is adjacent to the hotel in the airport. The reason for only four stars it that It is a bit difficult to find because it is in the older terminal one and most of the flights are in terminal two but it is possible to walk between the terminals. All of the taxis and Ubers are at T2, so expect some walking. I was able to leave my bags there for the day while I toured the city

Good option for airport stay. You can actually walk from terminal 2 to terminal 1 and hotel is located 3rd floor. Staff was very nice there is also free shuttle from terminal 2 to terminal 1
The management allowed an early check in. :-) The desk staff was very helpful in answering our questions.

Clean room. Abnormally cold with impossible to set AC temperature. Weird plumbing system in the washroom. Felt like a crypt. No signs for the hotel located at the deserted part of the Terminal 1. Hotel does not explain where it is located: experienced Uber driver had to make 3 circles and could not find the proper level. NB. Hotel door is Porta B at level 1. Had I not been there before, we would have circled around for at least another 20 min.
There is no windows in room due to airport which is very quiet I didn’t hear any planes !

OK for a stopover
Friendly staff overall no complaints it’s good for a layover staff are great the transfer bus is a godsend you wouldn’t want to walk it with luggage in tow.
I summery it’s a stop over hotel that serves it’s purpose
Clean. Good value. Free shuttle service. Very helpful staff. Useful gymn and steam room.
No window in room, presumably to shut out noise, but felt a bit oppressive.
Will stay agains.
